  2. He has no real plan and is only reacting to events (Goodreads blurb).
  3. He must decide how to deal with the supernatural world and protect himself from a government determined to stop him (Goodreads blurb).
  4. Returning to life as a mage is no longer an option, and he can't go back to being ordinary because he has seen too much (Goodreads blurb).

The blurb ends on Callum caught between worlds. Book 3 has him at war with the Guild and moving from reaction to action (Goodreads Book 3 description).
